From Fr. Romanowski: April 19, 2009

The essential parts of the Divine Mercy devotion are (1) the Chaplet, (2) the Portrait, and (3) the Feast of Divine Mercy. Like all legitimate devotion, there is a daily obligation and reminder of it, IMG_5894similar to the devotion to Our Lady of the Rosary. The portrait enables us to keep in mind the Presence of Our Lord and His mercy flowing from the water and blood flowing from His body during his horrendous death on the cross. The Feast of Divine Mercy gives us more graces and makes our souls and hearts pure as on the day of our baptism. What wonders are in God's merciful love.

Remember, also, what we have received at St. Mary's due only to the merciful grace of God:

During the second mass, I turned to our Holy Mother, telling her that it was difficult for me to separate myself from this Congregation "which enjoys such special protection, O Mary." Then I saw the Blessed Virgin, unspeakably beautiful. She came down from the altar to my kneeler, held me close to herself and said to me, "I am Mother to you all, thanks to the unfathomable mercy of God. Most pleasing to me is that soul which faithfully carries out the will of God." She gave me to understand that I had faithfully fulfilled the will of God and had thus far found favor in His eyes. "Be courageous. Do not fear apparent obstacles, but fix your gaze upon the passion of my Son, and in this way you will be victorious." -August 5, 1935, The Feast of Our Lady of Mercy. From the Diary of St. Maria Faustina Kowalska (or Divine Mercy In My Soul), pg. 198-199.
This revelation is given to everyone at St. Mary's because we know we are to do God's will and follow His Way because He is The Truth and the Life.

Praised be Jesus Christ!
Now and Forever!
